“Abbot, from HIV all the way through SARS-CoV-2, acknowledges in the test documents… that they have no authentic virus to compare to”
“The tests were always fraudulent”
“The CDC knew that AIDS was not a contagious disease… the real physical symptoms that these people had was a result of chronic drug use and especially the nitrite inhalants”
“It was all a pack of lies from day one. From day one.”
This clip of Dr. David Rasnick , who earned a PhD in chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1978, has more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries (including two years at Abbot Labs), published numerous scientific papers, and invented novel laboratory techniques, is taken from a discussion with Charles Kovess et al. posted to Rumble on May 25, 2026.
Partial transcription of clip
“AIDS— Like I said, in 1982, the CDC understood AIDS, or GRID, gay-related immune deficiency, the real physical symptoms that these people had, was a result of chronic drug use and especially the nitrite inhalants, from, from the nightclub men. The CDC knew that it was not a contagious disease.
“There’s gay men that were using the drugs. They were using specific drugs, the nitrite inhalants, which caused the Kaposi sarcoma on their faces and everything? The only people that got Kaposi sarcoma were these gay men. Isn’t that weird? This virus, this virus, this retrovirus knows you’re gay. So it’s going to cause Kaposi’s sarcoma and not cause it in heterosexuals—
“Let me tell you about the tests. The tests are bogus. Why couldn’t they diagnose it clinically? They didn’t. They always used tests. You couldn’t do it clinically. They used antibody tests, the HIV test, the antibody test, Abbott, all the way through SARS-CoV-2, they acknowledge the test documents themselves that they have no authentic virus to compare their test against, to see… The tests were always fraudulent. HIV test, all of them.
“There could be a disease. They just changed the name… [For example,] Cervical cancer. Cervical cancer was added to the list of AIDS-defining diseases, I think in 1993, because women obstinately refused to get AIDS. So they added cervical cancer.
Then in 1997, 1% of the new AIDS cases were women from cervical cancer because they still obstinately refused to get it. Kaposi’s sarcoma was in gay men, not in IV drug— I mean, not in heterosexual men. It was not women. You know, it was the, the whole thing was bogus from the beginning. Those tests are bogus—
“It was all a pack of lies from day one. From day one.”

Trump said that he wants the entire Middle East to sign onto the Abraham accords including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and even Iran! Below is what he said.
“I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote Monday, referencing a Saturday phone call with Arab leaders.
He went onto say Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be. The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause.
The above was coupled with the following ultimatum: “It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.”
And then he dropped the significant twist related to Tehran, in claiming that several of the regional leaders he spoke with “would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special!”
Unreal. Bible prophecy continues to unfold as we get closer and closer to the return of Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Editors Note: The supposed drone threat from Cuba is complete nonsense as they could do very little damage with them even if it were true. This is nothing more than the pre Castro era of rich fat cat Cubans who want all of their sugar plantations, casinos and their death squads back, and they’re willing to starve the Cuban population in order to achieve it. Trump sees it as easy pickings and a quick military victory as they are stuck in a stalemate with Iran.
Axios cites “classified intelligence” warning “Cuba has reportedly procured more than 300 attack drones from Russia and Iran” that will be used “against the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, U.S. military vessels, and even Key West, Florida.”
A senior U.S. official highlighted the seriousness of the situation, stating, “Considering such technologies so close to us, combined with various dangerous actors like terrorist groups, drug cartels, Iranians, and Russians, it is concerning. It represents a growing threat.”
The intelligence — which could become a pretext for U.S. military action — shows the degree to which the Trump administration sees Cuba as a threat because of developments in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, a senior U.S. official said.
This ludicrous “intelligence” (as usual, minus any evidence) is simply an effort by the Trump regime to divert attention away from the failure to destroy Iran and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.
For Trump, Cuba is a near perfect target due to its small size. The anchor baby Marco Rubio and the Cuban “exile community,” known as the Miami Mafia (aka “The Corporation”), would like nothing more than to install another Fulgencio Batista, the brutal military dictator deposed by the Cuban Revolution. The corporación mafiosa is nostalgic for the days when the “Little Man,” gangsterismo boss Meyer Lansky, controlled the country.
Under Batista’s rule, Cubans endured extreme wealth inequality, with one-third of the population living in poverty. Meanwhile, rural peasants, the Guajiros, faced starvation, while the elite enjoyed one of the highest per capita incomes in Latin America. Wealth was heavily concentrated among the elite, foreign entities, and the urban upper class. Furthermore, US interests controlled much of the sugar industry and approximately 70% of arable land, most notably the United Fruit Company.
Furthermore, US multinationals controlled nearly 90% of Cuba’s mines and 80% of its public utilities. This exploitation of Cuba’s resources resulted in immense wealth extraction, while the US reaped generous tax exemptions negotiated with Batista’s administration.
Between 1954 and 1956, new foreign investment quadrupled, flowing into almost every strategic sector of the Cuban economy: petroleum, public utilities, petrochemicals, mining, non-sugar manufacturing, tourism, and construction… The most important ‘growth’ sector in the economy under Batista was the largely American-financed expansion of the tourist industry [operated by the Mafia].
Batista suspended civil liberties, including the right to strike and the right to habeas corpus. The regime enforced strict censorship, silencing all criticism of military rule and imprisoning or exiling journalists who opposed it. As discontent grew, the government resorted to mass arrests, torture of political prisoners, and public executions to instill fear in the populace.
Batista’s Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities (BRAC) was setup by the CIA. “Since Batista’s 1952 coup, the military had already been dumping bullet-riddled corpses on the streets of Havana,” writes Ramona Wadi for Jacobin.
Batista’s agents dumped the bodies of victims in the hills of Pinar del Río, in mass graves or at abandoned sites. According to Havana’s morgue director, more than seven hundred bodies were brought to the morgue between 1952 and 1958 with evidence of having been severely tortured before they were killed.
The Miami Mafia, called gusanos (“worms”) and escoria (“trash”) by Fidel Castro, craves the re-establishment of their “lost paradise” in Cuba. “The dream of return, the dream of revenge, the dream of settling scores and turning back the clock [to mass poverty and death squads] has held a significant proportion of the diaspora in its thrall for nearly five decades,” writes Latin American expert Mark Falcoff.
“The impact of these sentiments has been felt in U.S. politics and policy — logically during the Cold War, but also for more than a decade since its conclusion.” Castro’s gusanos, along with the “CIA, Pentagon, US Information Agency, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) … have been part of sabotage and terrorist campaign against Cuba for over 6 decades,” notes Chris Matlhako for United World International.
Trump’s Cuban anchor baby Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, a member in good standing with the Miami Mafia in Calle Ocho, Little Havana, has told the Cuban people they have two choices: total collapse or an economic transformation that, under the current leadership, he insists is unfeasible.
The Ministry of Cuba has said if the country is attacked, it will exercise its right to legitimate defense. In late March, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel declared the island is fully prepared, under the United Nations charter, to defend itself against US aggression. Díaz-Canel’s statement follows Trump’s assertion that he can do “whatever he wants” with Cuba.
“We will be taking it over almost immediately. On the way back from Iran, we’ll have maybe the USS Lincoln come in off shore and they’ll give up,” Trump said.
The overblown purported threat of Cuban drones is yet another element in the ongoing propaganda effort to destabilize the island nation. It is a prelude to the possibility of Trump sending special forces into Havana to abduct Díaz-Canel, and possibly murder his security and Cuban officials, as Trump did with Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.
In April, Díaz-Canel addressed a crowd on the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs, the failed CIA-led attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow its government in 1961. “We have to be ready to resist serious threats, including military aggression,” he said. “We do not seek it, but it is our duty to prepare to avert it, and, should it prove inevitable, to win it.”
However, if Trump successfully bribes and threatens key Cuban military and government officials, as it did in Venezuela, the prospect of yet another Latin American country falling victim to Trump’s “Donroe” corollary to the Monroe Doctrine may be a inevitable.

Trump is in China allegedly shoring up frictions and making cosmic deals on behalf of billionaires.
Simultaneously, CSIS, the US Langley NGO that touts itself as the real intelligence apparatus of the White House, has this to say about China:
“The United States must pursue an invigorated hybrid warfare campaign that capitalizes on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) enduring vulnerabilities.
The CCP prioritizes narratives over facts, is built on endemic corruption, suffers excessive strongman rule, is paranoid about U.S. intentions, and has few friends to help reduce its dependence on the United States and allies. A U.S. hybrid warfare campaign built on exploiting endemic CCP frailties…”
Essentially, CSIS is stating that the purpose of Trump’s visit to China is to defraud them and bring them to their knees. Why?
Because the very existence of America is built on war. Innovation – for war. Thought control – for war. AI – for war. Every aspect of our economy is based on war and run by psychotic phantoms of humanity including Alex Karp of Palantir. He is of the class of IDF. The insanity of Alan Dulles, with the maturity of a comic book villain on par with Wyle E. Coyote.
In an open article, available for every intelligence officer in China to read, CSIS author, Nicholas Harrington, outlines how to embarrass, expose and sabotage China.
Which America is he representing? Certainly not the one filled with 330 million people. As a former CIA agent, with a BA in government, he claims to be an ‘expert.’ True to form, he failed to name what he is an ‘expert’ at… But being a former CIA agent is not exactly a good resume benefit in today’s world.
As the world turns, all eyes and ears are tuned to this meeting – to read the body language, to understand what is protocol vs what is respect. Including Trump, eight presidents have visited China in an effort to broaden relations beginning with Nixon in 1972. When Clinton visited, diplomatic protocol was rife with poor character.
Perhaps American politicians simply don’t read, don’t study their culture, don’t appreciate their sovereign ways. By contrast, the people of China and the respective government officials are always polite – even in an adversarial frame. It is their culture.
Western culture has disintegrated with every decade. Hollywood has certainly been a construct, but the lack of ‘class’ is embarrassing. Rubio blasts across the internet after meetings with Xi Jinping:
RUBIO announces on the News Media for All of China to read – “US policy on the issue of Taiwan is unchanged as of today and as of the meeting that we had here today. It was raised. They always raise it on their side. We always make clear our position and we move on to the other topics.”
Taiwan is 7,800 miles from the US. Yet the US position is that Taiwan is a veritable colony of America because of Acts that America passes without treaties, or international agreements.
Taiwan Relations Act passed in 1979 is a law in America that disputes Taiwan’s sovereignty, ignores China’s claims, and bypasses international determination. The Act set the stage for China to become America’s de facto enemy. It wasn’t agreed to or signed by anyone in Taiwan or China.
Taiwan Defense Act 2021. Taiwan Policy Act 2022. PORCUPINE Act 2026 was established to speed delivery of weapons to Taiwan in order to counter the threat of China which sits 1.3 miles off the coast. The absurdity is lost when Trump and Rubio claim Venezuela, 1,800 miles from US, is fair game for absorption. Cuba is fair game for starvation. And Iran is fair game for stone age destruction. The spin cycle is lost, on their brains.
But gabby mouths prevail giving Xi Jinping all the information he needs to see that trust and respect are foreign words to American politicians. Hour one of meeting Xi Jinping firmly stated,
“Taiwan is off the table.”
Hour 1.1 – Rubio and Trump are demanding China surrender Taiwan to the US. Why? Simply for chips. Because Intel, the darling of failure has extended their Ohio factory completion to sometime in 2030 … maybe, 2032… maybe; original completion date is 2025. Initial cost $20 billion – raised to $28 billion in 2025.
Example of spin:
Internet is citing a WOW agreement wherein China will buy oil and gas from Alaska instead of Iran.
Reality: China began importing oil from Alaska in 2011. It also imported seafood and forest products. China stopped importing from Alaska as a direct result of Trump’s trade tariffs. So just as the new war win with Iran is to return the status quo before the US bombed them, the returning the pre-tariff status quo with China imports from Alaska is a Trump ‘win.’ Preserving Trump’s ego. Played by Iran. Played by China.
The failure of American politicians to understand the basic protocols of China’s culture was/is duly noted and catalogued by Xi Jinping and Putin and the Ayatollah. Because it reveals how to win. Ignorance is bliss.
There is no victory in winning a hundred battles. There is victory in subduing your enemy without fighting at all. — Sun Zi, Ancient Chinese Proverb
The higher the rank I attain, the more humbly I behave. The greater my power, the less I exercise it. The richer my wealth, the more I give away. Thus I avoid envy, spite, and misery. —Sun Sho AO, Ancient Chinese Proverb
Editors Note: Watching Trump in China was embarrassing and it showed the world just how far the US has declined. Trump looked like a doddering old fool and China was trolling him every chance they got. Xi even talked about America’s decline and all Trump could do was try to spin it with the tired “it was Biden’s fault and now we’re fixing it” nonsense.
America is on life support with no chance of recovery. Rev. 18 and Jerimiah 51 are going to play out soon. Prayed up and prepped up!

The meeting between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump is hyped stratospherically as though Trump and his 12-16 billionaire minions will tromp all over China’s stoic atmosphere and steal deals left and right. Center stage,
Trump is prepared to offer Xi Jinping the ‘ability to invest $1 trillion in America.’ In return for this carrot, it is anticipated that China will help the US destroy Iran. The techie billionaire club will all offer to share their knowledge If China invests in their companies. Apple, Boeing, Citi, Tesla, Meta, BlackRock are all representing America looking for money. And the pressure is building.
In advance, limousines were sent over aboard cargo planes because riding in a Chinese vehicle is apparently not safe.
A 50-vehicle motorcade, a minimum of 300 rooms to accommodate security, and likely some presents for Xi, meals et al all billed to America – all courtesy of US taxpayers. I seriously doubt Xi Jinping is impressed, more likely ‘amused’ at the gauche expression of wealth. Unlike the typical Davos extra-curricular activity, I doubt Xi will provide the 2,000 prostitutes these people anticipate. C’est la vie.
The media is already claiming Xi Jinping has agreed to all of Trump’s pressure valves and everything will be great – China might even agree to become the 51st state.
Simultaneously, the US government has issued a Level 3 Travel Advisory for China due to arbitrary enforcement of laws – reconsider travel.
Arrival Ceremony. Guardian
Trump is desperate for two things:
1) rare earth minerals, and
2) fix the Iran mess for him.
The $1 trillion investment in the techie companies is up to the techies to sell. Grovel. Interestingly, the Glam Team seems to think China has $1 trillion in cash just sitting around growing mold and waiting to invest while demonizing their failed economy. What is unclear is what China wants from America.
Apparently, America is not offering much — the lifting of ‘some sanctions’, and leaving Taiwan alone seems to be the only cards Trump and his techies have to offer. In January 2026, Boeing’s financials revealed deliveries of 600 commercial planes (reflecting a $7 billion loss) and a ‘backlog of 6100 planes.’ What fool would put his name as the 6,101st in the backlog and wait ten years?
It appears that the spin Trump hopes to create is heavily weighted on the great relationship he has with Xi Jinping and releasing China from US sanctions and tariffs. In a game of Poker, Trump holds the three of diamonds and three spades. Given the largess sanctions imposed by Trump relate to Iran, Xi Jinping has already instructed all related companies to ignore them. Xi used the ace of diamonds. Given tariffs are absorbed by US taxpayers – Xi used the ace of spades. And Trump has nothing to sell that China wants.
Treasuries
China still holds $700-$800 billion in US Treasuries. If China were to sell Treasuries, it would trigger an increase in Treasury yields to make them look more attractive and cause a spiraling of economic pain for America via high interest rates impacting the government debt, businesses and consumers. What If Trump proposed ‘loaning’ China the money to invest in the techies, increasing China’s debt? As of 2024, according to the IMF, China’s debt stood at 88.8% of GDP – compared to the US at 120.79%, Italy at 135.33% and Japan topping global debt at 236.66%.
That debt would go a lot further in Africa than it could possibly in the US amidst high inflation. Not to mention proximity – closer to home. China is in the early stage of an economic transition with consumption central. Debt is NOT their economic strategy. Average household debt in China is $13,000 compared to the average in the US of $154,150. Obviously, the money changers would like to change that noose and want all global peasants to be heavily indebted to the bankers.
There is also the BlackRock demand for an international blockchain digital monetary system that Fink could pitch to Xi Jinping.
As the BRICS+ have moved from trading in dollars to trading in Yuan which further destabilizes America and the dollar. Banks are NOT ready. The transition could take upwards of ten years. The crater it would create would be filled with gold and silver. The US can’t fill the crater because as Trump has insinuated. Fort Knox is empty.
I doubt China’s Five-Year Transition Plan is to make China a slumlord to its taxpayers. 2026 marks the 15th five-year plan for China. Always the tortoise, the purpose of adhering to the plans is rooted in patience. Staying out of wars saves about $360 billion annually. As a result, China has surpassed America in tech, AI, infrastructure, automobiles, and manufacturing. Where it lags is in advanced chip manufacturing which it imports from Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan. The discount over NVIDIA is upwards of 30% to 50%.
As Trump and his techies land in China, I propose they are wholly under-prepared, overly cocky and will find themselves bowing and scraping for Xi’s approval. Hopefully, they studied Chinese protocols, some words of greeting, manners and etiquette before launching themselves into a grease pit of disrespect. Trump? He will definitely go off script and the profanity and ego will not be well tolerated.

n yet another of his ramblingTruth Social posts, Donald Trump entertains a number of fantasies about Iran and two former presidents. The post is so inaccurate and misleading that it deserves to be corrected, not that facts and reality will sway loyal MAGA followers.
Trump begins:
Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!), and then finally hit “pay dirt” when Barack Hussein Obama became President.

Trump and MAGA often claim Iran has attacked the United States for nearly five decades. It is using this claim as a predicate for the latest military strikes on Iran. From the occupation of the US embassy in Tehran to Iranian involvement in the Iraq war and occupation, the Trump administration alleges Iran has been at war with the US for decades.
Image: Portrait of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1973 (Public Domain)
The November 4, 1979 “Iran hostage crisis.” Initially, the storming and occupation of the embassy was a response to the US allowing Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to enter the United States to receive treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Prior to the occupation, the Tehran embassy had CIA officers working under diplomatic cover. The embassy files seized by the students include CIA cables and other classified materials, including information on covert contacts, exfiltration-related activity, operational intelligence reporting on military and political matters.
“One of the most important of these is the sensitive relationship between our regular diplomats—career officers of the Foreign Service—and the intelligence bureaucracies, primarily the CIA,” notes the Alicia Patterson Foundation. The “Captured Documents,” tediously reassembled after paper shredding, reveal how the CIA was anxious to rebuild its network of local agents, many of which had been destroyed during the Islamic revolution.
For obvious reasons, the Iranian people were opposed to the presence of the CIA in the country.
In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence initiated the Operation Ajax coup after democratically elected Mohammad Mossadegh nationalized Iran’s oil in response to foreign exploitation and control over its oil resources.
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was installed as dictator. His government employed oppressive measures against political dissent. In 1957, the SAVAK secret police (Sâzemân-e Ettelâ’ât va Amniyat-e Kešvar, Organization of Intelligence and Security of the Nation), trained by the CIA and Israel’s Mossad, was organized under the Pahlavi dynasty. It conducted widespread surveillance, media censorship, and interrogations. SAVAK’s torture methods included “electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting broken glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails.”
Following the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Iran took steps to ensure Iraq would never invade Iran again. Hussein, fearing the Shia (the majority of the Iraqi population) would follow the lead of Iran’s Islamic revolution and overthrow his government, initiated the war on September 22, 1980.
After the US invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iran sought to ensure that Iraq remained neutral and did not align with the US, thereby becoming a base for anti-Iranian activities. Iran fostered Shia political parties and militias that were either based in or closely linked to Iran, such as the Badr Organization, Islamic Dawa, and various other groups. Led by figures like Muqtada al-Sadr and the Mahdi Army, many Shia strongly resisted the occupation. During the Iran–Iraq War (1980–88), the Badr Organization was trained, armed, and funded by Iran.
The Mahdi Army (Jaish al‑Mahdi) received financial, logistical, and sometimes weapons support from Iran, particularly during the Iraqi resistance against the illegal US occupation. Iraqi so-called “special groups”—sa’ib Ahl al‑Haq, Kata’ib Hezbollah, and Kata’ib al‑Imam Ali—splintered from the Mahdi Army and focused exclusively on asymmetric attacks against US occupation forces. The “special groups” would later become foundational within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/Hashd al‑Shabi).
For Trump, this self-preservation effort by Iran, and its desire to aid and support brother Shia under a occupation, is nothing short of terrorism. The claim of “mullah terrorists” aiding and abetting Iraqi terrorists, thus killing American occupation soldiers, is one of the cornerstones in the argument for attacking Iran, along with Iran’s phantom nuclear program and, until recently, the demand that it not only dismantle its self-defense posture (eliminating ballistic missiles), but also disassociate from Shia “proxies” in Iraq and Lebanon.
Trump’s remarks about Obama and Iran are characteristically hyperbolic. In the latter half of his administration, Obama tightened sanctions on Iran while also concluding a nuclear deal. Unlike Trump, Obama used traditional diplomacy to finalize the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Trump would later trash. The Obama administration maintained sanctions on issues such as ballistic missiles, terrorism, human rights abuses, while criticizing Iran’s role in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq.
Image: David Petraeus (Public Domain)
It should be noted that there were anti-Iran officials in the Obama administration, including former CIA Director David Petraeus, the State Department’s Vali Nasr, Dennis Ross, the former Special Assistant to President Obama, and Thomas Donilon, a national security advisor.
Sanctions imposed by the Obama administration seriously impaired Iran’s economy. The sanctions reduced oil exports and effectuated a contraction of the nation’s economy (growing at 3.8% in 2011, contracted by 6.6% in 2012, and 1.9% in 2013). A revenue loss, estimated at $100 billion, prevented development of the Iranian energy industry.
Additionally, the US blocked assets of the Iranian government and financial institutions within US jurisdiction. This effectively cut Iran off from the international financial market, making legal trade for humanitarian goods such as medicine difficult. This effectively severed Iran’s ties with the international financial market, rendering legal trade for humanitarian goods like medicine a challenge. Between 2011 and 2012, the Iranian Rial experienced a significant decline in value, losing nearly 38% of its worth. Weaponized inflation further exacerbated the situation, leading to a surge in the cost of essential goods, including food and medical supplies.
He was not only good to [Iran], he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life.
This statement is clearly incorrect. As previously mentioned, the Obama administration imposed significant sanctions on Iran, which led to a decline in its economy and living standards of it people, before the JCPOA was signed. In contrast, Trump’s sanctions, enacted through the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), are described as “maximum pressure.” The president’s first term strategy aimed to exert even greater economic pressure on Iran, sanctioning over 115 linked entities by 2023 and warning third parties against engaging in business with Tehran. This approach differs from Obama’s more targeted and deal-oriented strategy.
Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter. Every Bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out – It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it. They had never seen money like this, and never will again. It was taken off the plane in suitcases and satchels, and the Iranians couldn’t believe their luck.
Trump attempts to portray this as a handout, when it was nothing of the sort. In 1979, when Trump said Iran began its war against America following the Islamic Revolution, President Jimmy Carter froze $1.7 billion in Iranian assets. $400 million of this sum was military equipment purchased under the Shah and not delivered after the Iranian revolution. The money was “placed in an escrow account” where it accrued interest. The hardware was resold.
In January 2016, the $1.7 billion settlement was reached. The settlement involved a cash payment of $400 million—in euros or Swiss francs, delivered via airlift—and an interest amount of $1.3 billion, marking a pivotal moment during JCPOA Implementation Day.
They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President. He was a disaster as our “Leader,” but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden!
Once again, Trump mischaracterizes reality. The Biden administration continued and added to the sanctions placed on Iran, specifically targeting its missile programs, oil exports, its alleged human rights abuses, and support to Hezbollah and Hamas. Trump, always the maximalist, views the Biden administration’s attempts at confidence building, while maintaining sanctions, as weakness. Trump also resents Biden for his attempts to revive the 2016 JCPOA.
For 47 years the Iranians have been “tapping” us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!
As noted, the deaths in Iraq during the height of the occupation were the work of Shia resistance groups supported by Iran, in much the same way the US armed and supported a number of armed groups, most notably the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979–1989) and also the Contras (1987) against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua.
It is nothing short of rank hypocrisy to argue that Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism when the United States has a far more extensive record of supporting terror. Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Ansar Allah is directed against Israel in response to decades of threats from the Zionist state—primarily about a nuclear weapon it does not possess—backed up by the United States. Israel has attempted since its inception in 1948 to subvert, sabotage, and undermine its Arab neighbors, and since the Islamic Revolution, it has dedicated significant resources to destroying the Persian nation of Iran.

This is another step towards total implementation of the Noahide laws here in the U.S. This is the Jews trying to negate the New Testament once again as Jesus isn’t mentioned, not even once. As we know the worship of Jesus Christ will be considered idolatry for which you will be beheaded.
Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law
The law of Moses was fulfilled! Our Sabbath rest is in Jesus now under a new and better covenant. Hebrews 4 9-10 explains this well. Hebrews 8 7-13 explains why a new covenant was needed and how the old one has passed away. I found a really good article on this subject the other day while researching the subject. You can find it by clicking HERE.
Stay ready because the day is coming soon that they will make these laws part of the “law of the land” in America, maybe even on the day or the proclamation in May!

Russia can’t afford to discredit itself abroad, nor can Putin’s ruling United Russia party afford to discredit itself at home four months before the next polls, by threatening overwhelming retaliation against Ukraine if it attacks Moscow’s Victory Day parade only to symbolically retaliate or do nothing at all.
The Russian Defense Ministry warned local civilians and the staff of diplomatic missions in Kiev of their country’s plans to launch a massive retaliatory strike on the city center if Ukraine goes through with Zelensky’s threat to attack Moscow’s Victory Day parade on 9 May. This was followed by Russia announcing ballistic missile tests from Kamchatka from 6-10 May. Shortly afterwards, the Russian Foreign Ministry reiterated the Defense Ministry’s warning, thus ensuring that the world is aware of it.
This threat likely isn’t a bluff for three sequential reasons.
The first is that Russia wants to deter Ukraine from attacking Moscow’s Victory Day parade for self-evident reasons, both relating to optics and the security of its VIPs, to which end it threatened overwhelming retaliation if this happens.
The second reason is that Russia cannot threaten such a response without actually going through with it if provoked, otherwise it would irredeemably discredit itself, and more audacious attacks would then likely follow.
And third, Russia is finally signaling its willingness to overwhelmingly retaliate against decision-making centers in Kiev per the Foreign Ministry’s additionally specified threat in the event of Ukraine carrying out this high-profile provocation due to its hardline Kremlin faction partially superceding its moderate one.
Once Trump returned and responded positively to Putin’s offer of dialogue for resolving the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine, which Biden rejected, Putin and his fellow moderates dangled a resource-centricstrategic partnership for incentivizing compromises. The US was receptive to such a partnership, but Russia rejected its demanded compromises that were presented as a precondition, while the US rejected Russia’s own such demands and didn’t coerce compliance from Ukraine or NATO either.
While Trump declined to escalate the Ukrainian Conflict amid this impasse, he still greenlit the rolling back of Russian influence across the world in a bid to coerce Putin into the US’ demanded compromise, namely freezing the conflict in exchange for sanctions relief without resolving the root issues. Informally known as the “Neo-Reagan Doctrine”, it’s placed Russia under pressure in at least 15 different countries, thus discrediting the moderate faction and prompting some among it like Putin to rethink their views.
The Third Gulf War, in which Iran attacked regional US bases without triggering an uncontrollable escalation spiral, then convinced Putin to finally listen to the hardliners who’ve been urging massive strikes on Ukrainian decision-making centers in Kiev since the get-go. Public opinion, which is important ahead of September’s next Duma elections, has long aligned with the hardliners on this issue. Putin now seems to have assented but only in retaliation to Ukrainian attacks against Moscow’s Victory Day parade.
These factors make it unlikely that Russia is bluffing, in which case the country itself wouldn’t just be discredited abroad, but so too would the ruling United Russia party be discredited in voters’ eyes four months before the next polls. There’s already speculation of a protest vote in support of the communist and nationalist opposition parties, which might prompt various reforms if it happens, but a large-scale one driven by any hypothetical bluff could herald an era of uncertainty that Putin would prefer to avoid.

In the middle of March, as the war raged between Iran, Israel, and the United States, it was reported the Trump brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, were positioned to make a deal with the Pentagon.
American Ventures, a venture capital firm, holds stakes in three crucial defense companies—Powerus, Xtend, and Unusual Machines, and all three manufacture military drones.
American Ventures backs Powerus, a Florida-based startup advancing drone technology with a focus on West Asia. Xtend, an “AI-powered platform” designed for “mission critical operations,” is an Israeli company. Unusual Machines, based in Orlando, Florida, is partnered with Powerus to manufacture “counter-UAS Systems.”
“Donald Trump’s sons are making a bold business move tied to the expanding military drone market, positioning themselves to potentially profit from defense spending during their father’s administration,” BallerAlert reported.
Bloomberg put an approximate dollar figure on the American Ventures investment portfolio: nearly $750 million across the three Florida-based companies, all of which are pursuing Defense Department contracts under the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance initiative, which targets $1.1 billion in drone procurement over the next two years, according to DroneXL, a news site reporting on drone technology. The Drone Dominance initiative plans to purchase over 200,000 drones by early 2028.
“Co-founded by former U.S. Army Special Operations veterans, Powerus builds autonomous drone systems for military and commercial use,” The Hill reported on March 10, 2026.
Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier, is president and COO of Powerus. Velicovich served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and was an Army special operations intelligence analyst and former Delta Force. The combat veteran was once regarded as the “world’s most dangerous drone expert.” During an interview, he declared he knows, as a victim of an attack in Iraq attributed to Iran, the “evil of the Iranian regime all too well.” More likely, the Shia resistance to the US occupation of Iraq was responsible. Velicovich is credited with helping to track down the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Omar al-Baghdad. He also helped track Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the Trump administration while visiting Baghdad on a peace mission.
Appearing on the Mark Levin Show, Velicovich said if he was “advising the President, I would tell him now is not the time to let up” on bombing Iran.
“President Trump is doing right now exactly what a commander-in-chief is supposed to do,” Velicovich told Levin. “He arrogantly claims diplomacy is surrender and brags the Trump administration is intentionally forcing a battlefield confrontation,” according to an X post.
“At no point does Levin disclose that Velicovich may stand to profit off the war expanding,” posted Chris Menahan of Information Liberation.
Fox News resident war hawk, and Trump’s former special envoy to Russia and Ukraine, retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, is on the advisory board of Powerus as a “strategic advisor,” likely the same role he performs at Fox News. In addition to involvement with Powerus, Kellogg holds “leadership positions” at Oracle Corporation, CACI International, and Cubic Defense Applications. Oracle is a one of eight Pentagon “technology partners” providing advanced AI tools for classified military networks. CACI International, one of Fortune’s 500 Largest Companies, provides information technology services to the War Department, Homeland Security, and the intelligence community. Cubic Defense Applications offers “enhanced warfighting readiness” to the US Army, the Department of the Navy, and the US Air Force.
“I think we should finish the job, Kellogg told Fox News. “The blockade has been executed brilliantly, but it should be pushed to the point where Iran is broken economically, militarily and politically.” Kellogg added that his “analogy is Sherman’s march through the South: break the regime by breaking its survival 4X.”
Sherman’s March to the Sea is considered a form of total war. General Sherman aimed to break the will of the Confederate people by causing significant destruction to civilian infrastructure and resources.
The Israeli company “Xtend holds a ‘multi-million-dollar’ Defense Department contract for attack systems and keeps its U.S. headquarters in Tampa, near US Central Command, per Bloomberg,” according to Drone XL. In addition, the company, founded in Tel Aviv and headquartered in Tampa, won a contract with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply a human-guided AI drone operating system, a contract valued at approximately $1.67 million.
Xtend CEO, Aviv Shapira, was an IDF soldier and “the youngest [missile] test director in the Air Force,” according to Globes, an Israeli website. Rubi Liani, co-founder and CTO, served in the Israeli Navy for twelve years.
Earlier this month, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced it will implement the “Gaza model” in Lebanon, including the illegal demolition of homes and civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Israel Katz, the Israeli Defense Minister, stated at the end of March that the Israeli army would operate in Lebanon “similar to the model of Rafah and Beit Hanoun.”
B’Tselem, a Jerusalem-based Israeli nonprofit organization documenting human rights violations in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, notes:
“Indeed, Israel has been carrying out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, electricity and water facilities, bridges, roads, and more. Over the past month, Israel has killed more than a thousand people in Lebanon, displaced hundreds of thousands from their homes, and erased entire villages.”
In June, 2025, President Trump signed one of his many executive orders, “Unleashing American Drone Dominance,” that called for the Pentagon “to scale up domestic drone production, strengthen the U.S. drone industrial base, and prioritize American-made unmanned aircraft across agencies to the maximum extent allowed by law,” reported Quartz. Soon thereafter, the Trump administration barred imports of new models of foreign drones and critical components, thus allowing companies such as Powerus and Xtend to dominate the market.
According to Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, the director of government affairs at the nonpartisan ethics watchdog Project on Government Oversight, the Trump investment deals on warfighting drone tech “at a minimum present the appearance of impropriety.”
While the Trump Organization maintains its innocence, experts caution that the absence of a clear distinction between policy decisions and family interests poses unprecedented ethical challenges. Trump Jr., as a partner in 1789, a Palm Beach, Florida-based “patriotic capitalist” venture capital and growth equity firm, suggested “the firm influences U.S. policy outright” and “understand[s] what the administration wants to do, because [the firm] helped craft some of the messaging.”
“The emerging military tech sector has deep ties to the administration, starting with vice-president J.D. Vance’s relationship with Palantir founder Peter Thiel, who employed Vance and helped fund his Senate run,” notes William Hartung, a Quincy Institute senior research fellow. “The fact that Donald Trump Jr.—not only the president’s son but a close political advisor and unofficial spokesperson—will now profit personally from the fate of specific military tech firms adds an even more profound conflict-of-interest.”
The Trump clan shares notoriety with past war profiteers, including the G Farben/Bayer/Rockefeller alliance responsible for German chemical and pharmaceutical production, Ford Motor and General Motors, ITT, the Chase National and Morgan banks, and a number of German industrialists such as Flick, Renault, Schneider, and Krupp, involved with German chemical and pharmaceutical production during the First and Second World Wars.

President Trump gave the order to the US Navy to begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday morning Iranian time. We shall soon see if Iran is willing to sink US Navy ships or not. If Iran does sink one or more US Navy ships I would expect the war to resume with ferocious intensity.
